Hey Hey, ppl.

Can someone sell me a drive-shaft at the meet?

Ever since "on the way home" from the last upstate meet, I have been hearing an feeling the results of a bad drive-shaft, and it seems to be getting / IS worse.

Its for my daily driver, '89 N/A.

I probably will be working that day till 5pm (yeah I finaly got a job.) I will try to catch the end of the meet.

So if anybody can help, PM me or call my cell ph #, 960-1887

Thanks

Toby.

 

Are you sure its not the U joints Toby?

 

im pretty sure i have one, but ill have to look. if i do ill bring it to the meet.

dj, ill bring you your shirts too!!

 

Cool, thanks Masin!

 

Prettysure the u-joints are apart of the drive-shaft.
Once again it needs to be for an S5 or S4 N/A.

As far as the other problems I was having at the last 7 meet, one of my conclusions is that they were the cause of overheating, but the temp gauge read normal.

um, in other news, I saw a black vert yesterday on 176. headed toward 17.

 

My bad, they are replaceable on mine. I admittedly know next to nothing about 2nd and 3rd gens. A quick search told me that the u joints are supposedly not replaceable for the 2nd gen, but then I saw this thread and apparently the parts are available and it can be done:

Change of my plans this weekend. This is the first time in 5 years the Navy has NOT taken me away from my wife for our wedding anniversary. She is going to see family in Florida so I think I'll go down and suprise her with a night out on Saturday still not sure yet though... Sorry!!

Jamin how is the new turbo working out??

 

Awwww, how sweet!
Seriously that's cool man, I bet your wife will appreciate the thought. At least someone's getting laid this weekend!

Ok boys, so what are we gonna do now?

And oh ****, I meant to comment before about that new turbo, Jamin it looks sweet! Update?

 

Ok I looked under the 7 today an found out where the exact problem is. Peering through the side of the heat shield I saw that the u-joint at the front end of the drive-shaft was moving around alot when moving the drive-shaft, I even saw a crack.

So hopefully I be able to limp around on it until the meet, if someone shows up with a drive shaft.
Drive shaft replacement party anyone?

I believe Jamin's waiting on a radiator and coupler, for the turbo.

 

ill bring you a driveshaft if i come down.

dj, make that two people getting laid this weekend, especially if i come down to chucktown!!!

 

masin, if you come down, you can pick up this TII hood too


and yeah, i got hte turbo installed, but when i was bleeding the coolant when refilling, the bleeder screw snapped off, and it now leaks.. I think ill just try to rtv the hole instead of waiting for the koyo for the meet, doesnt look like it will get here in time

 

careful DJ, looks like Masin has you in his sights!!!

 

Awww look, it sounds like Tray is getting jealous!

 

i have a flat black push start car...wait?! there's other people with push-start cars?! damnit!

 

push starting...because the a starter weight too much on a real fast, low torque car...

 

i doubt i'll be able to hit this one with my licends i'll stillonly have my permit. come next week i'll have time to go take my test.

 

I can try to make it down. I really want to go to one of these, bc ive never been before. Just let me know when and where for sure and i can see if i can make it.
Thanks guys,

Zach

 

Ok boys I've had a ticket to the USC football game this weekend offered to me, so unless y'all are getting into something funner than that, I'm probably going to bail on the meet and go to the game. I will be down in Chucktown next weekend for a wedding though. How many of you are planning on going this weekend, and what are you guys planning to do?

 

Yeah I dunno what he's talking about, Palmela and Fistina don't count, and Chip already said he was going out of town!

 

Well they do say "If the fist fits then..." Oh wait a minute getting side tracked.

PLAN B
Why not move the meet two weekends to the right.

Top 10 reasons to move meet:

10. I will not be here this weekend. So get a hotel or a long drive home...
9. Gives ALL of US more time to get our **** together.
8. Toby needs a drive shaft.
7. I will not be here!!
6. Masin needs about that long to set up some ***** or , everyone cross your fingers for him.
5. Jamin needs to get car on the road again (I'm one to talk)
4. I will not be here!! No BBQ, pooltable, or human crash site.
3. DJ has some awesome tickets.
2. Everyone else is bailing!!

AND FINALLY...............
1. I will not be here!!


So how about the weekend of the 15th??
I am finishing the pooltable, have 3 beds and a couch, and we can BBQ and watch football. Everyone should be finished with the cars also so a drive to the beach for some and

 

I think thats sig material. haha.

 

Yeah I'm all for moving the date, perhaps more will attend too. The only thing that sucks is that Toby is without a drive shaft. Although if Masin is really getting laid then he may not mind the drive.
